Abstract

James Longenbach is a poet, critic, and the Joseph Henry Gilmore Professor of English at the University of Rochester, where he teaches courses on American poetry, British and American modernism, James Joyce, Shakespeare, and creative writing. His critical works include Modernist Poetics of History, Stone Cottage: Pound, Yeats, and Modernism, Wallace Stevens: the Plain Sense of Things, and his most recent The Art of the Poetic Line, which explores the "function of line in metered, rhymed, syllabic, and free-verse poetry." He is the author of the poetry collections Threshold, Fleet River, Draft of a Letter, and his most recent, The Iron Key: Poems, "a meditation on the conditions and consequences of beauty." His work has appeared in The New Yorker and The Best American Poetry series, among other national journals and magazines.
